You might also like this battle: The Battle of Athens (sometimes called the McMinn County War) was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local government in August 1946. The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of predatory policing, police brutality, political corruption and voter intimidation.

I was born in Athens and went to elementary school in nearby Niota. I wrote a report on this incident as a kid in the early 80s. I was able to speak with several of the veterans involved. I'm extremely proud to be associated in some small way with these patriots. There's a great book by one of the participants, Bill White. Unfortunately, it was out of print last time I checked and I lost my copy in a rather distasteful divorce.Chadd

It used to be called "The Free World's right arm", and was used by some 90 countries. In the Falklands War, both sides used 'em; the Brits' were semi-auto only and the Argies' had selective fire.

By the way, speaking of the Falklands War, y'know who's the official pinup girl of the Argentine Navy? Natalie Wood.
